Diwali or Deepavali, popularly known as the
'festival of lights', is an important one-day festival in Hinduism,
Jainism, and Sikhism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring
between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of
the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in
families by performing traditional activities together in their
homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana.
Deepavali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka,
Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia,
Singapore, and Fiji. The name 'Diwali' is a contraction of 'Deepavali'
which translates into 'row of lamps'. Diwali involves the lighting
of small clay lamps filled with oil to signify the triumph of
good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes
and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

Why do we celebrate Diwali? It's not just the festive mood in the air that
makes you happy, or just that it's a good time to enjoy before the advent of
winter. There are 10 mythical and historical reasons why Diwali is a great time
to celebrate. And there are good reasons not just for Hindus but also for all
others to celebrate this great Festival of Lights.

1.Goddess Lakshmi's Birthday: The Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi incarnated on
the new moon day (amaavasyaa) of the Kartik month during the churning of the
ocean (samudra-manthan), hence the association of Diwali with Lakshmi.

2. Vishnu Rescued Lakshmi: On this very day (Diwali day), Lord Vishnu in his
fifth incarnation as Vaman-avtaara rescued Lakshmi from the prison of King Bali
and this is another reason of worshipping Ma Larkshmi on Diwali.

3. Krishna Killed Narakaasur: On the day preceding Diwali, Lord Krishna killed
the demon king Narakaasur and rescued 16,000 women from his captivity. The
celebration of this freedom went on for two days including the Diwali day as a
victory festival.

4. The Return of the Pandavas: According to the great epic 'Mahabharata', it was
'Kartik Amavashya' when the Pandavas appeared from their 12 years of banishment
as a result of their defeat in the hands of the Kauravas at the game of dice
(gambling). The subjects who loved the Pandavas celebrated the day by lighting
the earthen lamps.

5. The Victory of Rama: According to the epic 'Ramayana', it was the new moon
day of Kartik when Lord Ram, Ma Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after
vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. The citizens of Ayodhya decorated the
entire city with the earthen lamps and illuminated it like never before.

6. Coronation of Vikramaditya: One of the greatest Hindu King Vikramaditya was
coroneted on the Diwali day, hence Diwali became a historical event as well.

7. Special Day for the Arya Samaj: It was the new moon day of Kartik (Diwali
day) when Maharshi Dayananda, one of the greatest reformers of Hinduism and the
founder of Arya Samaj attained his nirvana.

8. Special Day for the Jains: Mahavir Tirthankar, considered to be the founder
of modern Jainism also attained his nirvana on Diwali day.

9. Special Day for the Sikhs: The third Sikh Guru Amar Das institutionalized
Diwali as a Red-Letter Day when all Sikhs would gather to receive the Gurus
blessings. In 1577, the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar was
laid on Diwali. In 1619, the sixth Sikh Guru Hargobind, who was held by the
Mughal Emperor Jahengir, was released from the Gwalior fort along with 52 kings.

10. The Pope's Diwali Speech: In 1999, Pope John Paul II performed a special
Eucharist in an Indian church where the altar was decorated with Diwali lamps,
the Pope had a 'tilak' marked on his forehead and his speech was bristled with
references to the festival of light.
